"Bringing the Museum to You"

 

By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece Exhibitions  of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Christine Labich (born 1971 in Berkeley, 

California).

 

Christine graduated from Brown University in 1992 with a B.A. in Biology, and earned a Master’s degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Cornell University in 1997. Committed to the intersection between how human society treats the natural world and people’s emotional response to the landscape, she studied botanical drawing, photography, and painting on her own throughout her study of ecology.

 

In 2001, her focus shifted from scientific study of plants and the landscape to a full-time career in landscape-based art.  Self-taught, with the exception of a few workshops, she brings an understanding of the landscape based in years of formal education and field work to her paintings. A longtime practitioner of meditation, she brings a contemplative eye to the play of light and atmosphere.

 

Christine's luminous landscapes in oil and pastel have won many national awards, and are held in collections nationally and internationally. She currently paints and teaches in Massachusetts.

 

Christine is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America.
